Active clinical trials for "Rectal Fistula"

This study will compare the results of marsupialization versus open wound after fistulotomy in low transsphincteric perianal fistulas.

Patients with anal fistula who will undergo anal fistulotomy will be randomized into one of two groups; the first group will receive topical phenytoin therapy postoperatively and the second group will not receive such topical treatment.

Anal fistulae are a difficult problem to treat. The optimal treatment for fistula involving the anal sphincter is unclear. Two standardly used methods of treatment are the ligation of intersphincteric fistula track (LIFT) procedure and the use of an anal fistula plug. The purpose of this study is to exam the rate of fistula closure between the LIFT procedure and the use of a fistula plug

This is a randomized, controlled, parallel study to compare the results of treatment for patients with transsphincteric fistulas-in-ano.

The primary aim is to test the magnitude and duration of analgesia provided by single dose multi-drug analgesia administered for perianal block, and compare with standard solution (Marcaine & Lidocaine in 1:1 mixture - Total 60 ml), at post-operative period and also to compare with the standard solution including their respective post-operative opioid or non-opioid oral analgesic requirement. Local anesthesia via a perianal block using multi-drug analgesia or standard solution will be compared using the Numeric pain rating scale on Post-operative day 1, 3 and during follow up visit on day 7. The investigators hope to find a better control of post-operative analgesia which will lead to better functional outcomes. Possible decrease consumption of opioids in the post-operative period will perhaps decrease the cost and chances of addiction and will increase patient comfort and compliance.

This study was designed to compare propofol intravenous anesthesia to sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia on the quality of recovery after surgery for anal fistula in obese patients. Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia are the two main anesthesia techniques. Obesity influences not only anesthetics metabolic but also physical function of patients, so it is meaningful to study which anesthesia technique is better for the recovery of obese patients after surgery.

Background: Complex perianal fistulas pose a challenge to surgeons since the fistulous tract must be eliminated without impairing continence. Biological sealants have emerged as an effective alternative for maintaining the integrity of the anal sphincter. The investigators aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of calcium alginate hydrogel injections into the tract as treatment for complex cryptoglandular fistulas. Methods: A prospective, single-center, case series of this novel technique was conducted in a level 3 hospital, including patients diagnosed with trans-sphincteric perianal fistulas and treated with a calcium alginate hydrogel sealant. A strict follow-up was performed by an independent surgeon at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The main outcome measures were feasibility, safety (number of adverse events) and efficacy of the treatment.

The Surgisis Anal Fistula Plug study is a clinical trial conducted in Saudi Arabia to study the safety and effectiveness of the Surgisis AFP Plug in the treatment of chronic anal fistulas.

This observational study aims at assessing the safety and efficacy profiles of mesenchymal stem cell, in different formats (SVF, autologous, allogenic), to treat complex perianal fistula according to the Spanish national Compassionate-use law .

The purpose of this extension is to investigate and confirm the long-term (6 months) safety and efficacy of the preceding FATT-1 trial [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NTC00475410], which studied patients with perianal fistula treated having received adipose-derived adult stem cell (ASC)and/or fibrin glue.
